Micklefield, High Wycombe

Micklefield, High Wycombe

Micklefield is a district of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, located on the eastern side of the town. Surrounded on one side by the Chiltern Hills and King's Wood, it neighbours the villages of Penn and Tylers Green, as well as being adjacent to Wycombe Marsh. Some points in the Micklefield area rise to an altitude of some 450 feet, and there are some great views over the Wycombe valley.

Amenities include a Murco petrol station with an attached Supermarket, a combined first and middle school, three churches: St Peter's (Church of England), Micklefield Christian Fellowship (Elim Pentecostal Church) and a Seventh-day Adventist church and a shopping area located next to a community library. The library was initially earmarked for closure by Bucks County Council, but was saved by a local campaign to keep it running.[1] It now has been awarded National Lottery grants to rebuild a larger library.[2]

In 2006 Micklefield was the subject of international media interest when key aspects of the investigation into the 2006 transatlantic aircraft plot focussed on local homes[3] and a five month long search of King's Wood took place by police[4].

Micklefield is home to some areas of social deprivation.
